Bug Description
[Impact]
Backport auth.conf.d support to allow specifying per-repository authentication data in separate files, so packages can setup authenticated repositories.
[Regression potential]
We ignore errors from opening auth.conf.d files, so regressions can only occur when parsing a file fails, in which case apt would exit with an error.
[Test case]
The test suite provides autopkgtests for auth.conf.d which creates an auth.conf.d file and checks that it is successfully used; so we can check if those passed.
Except on trusty- do it manually there, by adding a file for a private ppa, and then running update.
- make sure to upgrade apt-transport-https on trusty & xenial...
